A few updates: I feel 100% better today. It's scary how easily I can get knocked on my butt with a head cold. The party last night went extremely well, the Fates were being very nice. Nothing broken, no spills, and the kids were as polite as little kids are. Whew!!!
Greg's off to Oregon. It was nice having him home for the weekend, Friday cannot get here soon enough.
So today's motto has been: If it's not one thing, it's another. I didn't get much sleep last night (too many dreams, it was like a 6 screen cinema in my head) and the kids were all up shorty after Greg left at 7 this morning. I got the big 3 all off to school without much of a hitch and then Kelly, Kyle and I went grocery shopping. Kyle is becoming very difficult to shop with. That 2 year old kid throwing a royal fit in the grocery store? That's Kyle. He's definitely a big part of my "if it's not one thing, it's another" issue today. And he says "no" to things that he really does want. For example:
"Kyle, do you want apple juice?"
- "No!"
"Fine." I put the apple juice back.
- "No! Apple juice!"
"Okay." I take the apple juice back out of the fridge and begin pouring.
- "No!"
Repeat until Kyle's in tears and I'm frustrated beyond belief.
After picking up all the kids, putting the groceries away, and feeding the kids lunch, I went to turn on the computer. No internet. Hmm... Turn on the TV, no digital cable. Grrr... I called the cable company, dialing 4 or 5 times because of busy signals and finally I was put on hold for about 15 minutes. They did
receive our last payment, they were late crediting the account plus we owed them a trivia amount of money. Whatever... I paid it, they didn't charge any reconnect fees (I would still be on the phone bitching if they tried that), and we have cable again (obviously). I hate Time Warner cable and their stupid monopoly.
Some good news, my pea coat arrived today and it fits perfectly! :) I also received my April issue of Creating Keepsakes magazine. *looks confused* Isn't it the second week of February? Anyway I'll wait to read it during a bubble bath after the kids are in bed. (8pm!) This afternoon I need to straighten the house and do 3 or 4 loads of laundry. I bought supplies for the kids to make Valentines for school, we'll probably do that project tomorrow or Wednesday. And I think that's about it. I need to catch up on my reading (blogs and forums) and take it easy so that I don't get sick again. We'll see how that goes...
